(BRAZIL, 12/14/2010)
A project is advancing in Alagoas to develop the cultivation of oysters in a sustainable manner as part of an agreement signed between the government of the city with the Spanish Agency for International Development (Aecid).
The project includes the exchange of knowledge and technology, and will receive an investment of BRL 140,000 (USD 82,000) for this stage.
The Oyster Farming Association of Barreiras in Cooruipe (Aobarco) expects to see the first fruits of the project with the arrival of 250 tables of PVC for the cultivation of oysters, a car, a speedboat and the construction of a shellfish depuration plant, which when fully equipped, will have the capacity to process around 7,000 oysters per hour.
